Clariant TONSIL CO 626G Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 626G in polymer processing?

A: TONSIL CO 626G is a high-activity, acid-treated bentonite-based catalyst designed to promote condensation reactions—particularly in silicone and polyurethane systems—by enhancing crosslinking efficiency and improving cure kinetics under ambient or mild thermal conditions.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 626G compatible with moisture-cure silicone formulations?

A: Yes, it is specifically formulated for use in one-component moisture-curing silicones, where it acts as a selective catalyst to accelerate the reaction between silanol groups and atmospheric moisture without inducing premature gelation or compromising shelf life.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 626G be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically dispersed homogeneously into the base polymer or prepolymer phase using standard high-shear mixing equipment. Pre-dilution in a compatible carrier fluid may be recommended for optimal dispersion, especially in viscous systems.


Q4: Does TONSIL CO 626G affect the final physical properties of cured elastomers?

A: When used at recommended dosage levels, it supports consistent network formation and generally contributes to improved tensile strength and elongation balance, while maintaining good thermal stability and low compression set in the final vulcanizate.
